The

The
word Puerto Rican originates from the geographical name of

East of Hispaniola. Puerto Rica is a self-governing commonwealth in union with the U.S. capital San Juan area
3440 square miles. Many Puerto Ricans
immigrated to the USA and are also referred to as Hispanic ( a person of Latin American descent living in the
U.S. especially one of Spanish, Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican
origin ).

The
Importance of First Names! We
respond to our name throughout our lives. People associate us
with our first name, it forms part of our identity. They help to
distinguish us from one to another. Other people gain
immediate and sometimes totally subconscious views of people,
just from hearing a name they can therefore give us a distinct
advantage in life, or conversely, a disadvantage! The choice of
an Puerto Rican Baby name is, therefore, incredibly important.
And those of us who choose a baby's name are taking on a
responsible task!

Will the Puerto Rican baby
name suit my
baby? Should it be traditional, unusual, unique, exotic, popular

Will it be appropriate throughout a full life cycle starting with baby - toddler - school child - teenager - young adults - parents - middle age - retirement and
ending with old age. Will it suit a pensioner as well as a baby? Will the schoolchild be teased
mercilessly about a name? What will your baby think of your choice?
